I have not read this book, but stumbled upon this quotation in Encarta Encyclopedia '99:
The novel Ponder Heart (1957), an often comic story of small-town life, includes one scene that epitomizes Welty's penchant for grotesque, almost surreal violence. A dim-witted character mistakenly suffocates his wife to death while tickling her as a thunderstorm rages outside.
Where as I don't condone tickling to the point of asphyxiation, this may be interesting reading.
